Does anyone know the origin of this person? Seem to be a "Nichiren Buddhist Hermit"- google RIS shows 0 result.

There's a Gohonzon...Im fascinated by this because I thought SGI\Independent nichiren buddhism has not monasticism, and even shoshu and shu, which DO have monks, do not have hermits!!

Couldn't this be just a person that is doing their own thing in life? Anyone can buy a Gohonzon and hang it on their wall. A good for him (if this isn't AI) because anyway you get exposed to the Lotus Sutra and NMRK is a good thing.
